The Dark Multiverse reimagines one of the most renowned stories in comic book history, “The Judas Contract”! In this shocking tale, Terra’s betrayal starts not with the Teen Titans, but with Deathstroke himself! Now, free from her mentor’s influence and supercharged by the same serum that turned Slade Wilson into the world’s deadliest man, Tara Markov will forge a new destiny, written in the Teen Titans’ blood.

In Detective Comics #968, Tim will finally escape his
current imprisonment at the hands of the mysterious Mr. Oz (whose
identity will be revealed soon in the pages of Action Comics). However,
as DC’s solicits tease, getting home is not quite the same thing as
surviving the experience.

The arc’s title, “A Lonely Place of Living,” is a play on Drake’s DC
Comics introduction in 1990’s “A Lonely Place of Dying.” The storyline,
written by Marvel Wolfman and drawn by George Perez and Jim Aparo, was a
crossover event between Batman and Teen Titans, and served to bring a
new Robin (Drake) into Batman’s life following the murder of Jason Todd
years earlier. The story was designed to illustrate how important Robin
was to helping Batman regain his humanity in the face of Todd’s death.

Check out the cover — which homages the final chapter of the
aforementioned “A Lonely Place of Dying” storyline — and solicitation
text for the Tim Drake’s return, below.

DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at the solicitation text for Action Comics #987 and #988,and Detective Comics #965, and the standard covers for Action Comics #987 and Detective Comics #965.

The cover for Detective Comics is particularly interesting, as the image is an homage to George Perez's cover to Batman #441, the middle chapter to "A Lonely Place of Dying," the story arc in which Drake was introduced as the third Robin.

The upcoming Detective story is titled "A Lonely Place of Living," and sees Drake
trying to decide between escaping Mr. Oz's prison or staying behind -- a
decision made harder by a surprising revelation that fans will have to wait to fully grasp the gravity of.

“A
Lonely Place Of Living” part one! It’s the story you’ve demanded: Where
in the world (or otherwise) is Tim Drake? Red Robin faces a
crossroads…escape the most devious prison ever devised, or find himself
abandoned beyond time and space for all eternity! Not much of a choice,
right? But when he finds out just who is locked in there with him, Tim’s
world will change in ways he never imagined! This is one of the biggest
stories of the REBIRTH era, setting the stage for an explosive
